Question 60

Do i want a Wet look or a dry look?

Accepted Answer

We can help you choose either a wet look or a more natural dry look depending on the finish you want. A wet look sealer gives the pavers a darker, richer appearance, while a dry look sealer keeps them looking more natural and low-sheen. We can go over the options with you and recommend the best fit for your property.

Question 61

Can I do it Myself?

Accepted Answer

DIY paver sealing is possible, but it comes with challenges. Most homeowners underestimate the prep work, surface drying time, and even coverage required for a professional-looking result. Improper application can lead to:
Streaky or uneven finishes
Trapped moisture that causes hazing or whitening
Over-application that makes surfaces slippery
Sealant peeling or bubbling over time

For long-term results—and to avoid having to strip and reapply—a trained technician is usually the better choice. They’ll use commercial-grade equipment, control the environment, and know how to avoid common pitfalls.
